As a workaround, you can try out my fork, see https://plugins.gradle.org/plugin/io.github.goooler.shadow.

@johnrengelman Can we get this merged? There's already gradle 8.4, yet we still struggle with gradle 8.3 and java 20

[skmedix]

@Goooler Can you fix jitpack build, so we can use your fork? Currently it's failing https://jitpack.io/com/github/Goooler/shadow/cdc2103ac5/build.log

@skmedix Published a fork for you, check

@johnrengelman any updates on merging this?

[PENEKhun]

@Goooler The plugin you forked is working fine, thank you so much! And I hope this PR will be merged into Main as soon as possible please. 😭🙏

As a workaround(until the next release), this worked for me:

buildscript {
  ext {
    asmAsmVersion = "9.6" // https://gitlab.ow2.org/asm/asm/-/tags
  } 
   configurations {
        classpath {
            resolutionStrategy {
                //in order to handle jackson's higher release version in shadow, this needs to be upgraded to latest.
                force(group: "org.ow2.asm", name: "asm", version: asmAsmVersion)
                force(group: "org.ow2.asm", name: "asm-commons", version: asmAsmVersion)
            }
        }
    }
}

Hi all. Any chance for this to get merged? We are waiting for the new file permission API to be adopted to deprecate the old one on the Gradle side. Can we assist with anything to speed up the process?

[Goooler]

See #908.

Or you can try my fork.

Or you can try my fork.

@Goooler, I've tried version 8.1.5 of your fork, but it still uses the old file permission methods we want to deprecate. For example here.

[Goooler]

Ooops, it hasn't been caught. Fell free to send a PR if you want.

I'm trying, but I don't seem to have permission to:

❯ git remote -v
origin  [email protected]:Goooler/shadow.git (fetch)
origin  [email protected]:Goooler/shadow.git (push)

❯ git push --set-upstream origin jb/file-permissions/replace-deprecated-api

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
